Flexercise Refresher Training in Wellington

Flexercise Refresher: Fun, chair-based activity

Flexercise is aimed at people who work with or have an interest in enhancing the lifestyle of those with limited opportunities to participate in physical activity, especially the not so young.  Delivering Flexercise will enhance the quality of life of your residents.

The refresher workshops are designed for activity staff and carers from nursing and residential homes, helpers in day care centres and officers from sheltered housing.  The workshop will provide the necessary update information and give the trainer an opportunity to monitor progress and keep up to date with what different homes are offering in terms of seated exercise. 

It is also an opportunity to network with other homes and showcase what different organisations do on a regular basis, and increase knowledge in the subject.

It has been recommended that all trained Flexercise leaders attend a refresher workshop on an annual basis. The workshops last 2.5 hours and lunch is provided between 12.30 and 1.30 for participants of both sessions to network and mingle.
